I received a pair of these transformers form Best audiotransformers as well. The build quality is excellent. Martin does very nice work. I haven't had an opportunity to use them in an amp yet but these might get me off my butt and get me started on the amp they are intended for.

 Well hurry up Cal, build your amp now!

Succes, Martin

 They will go in 801A/eimac75tl amps driving a pair of front loaded horns.

 40mA and F => 800hz
What is the highest working voltage?

 The transformers frequency response is flat at 800Hz, 40mA is the dc current.
I did not tested the maximum dc voltage but i can test up to several kV if needed, for now at least 600V. For better phase response the design is made from 400Hz and up.

 What operating point would you be running the 75tl?

 Around 600V @ 40mA

 0.04 * 600 = 24 watts (75 watt max for he 75tl)

With the 75tl you could consider doubling the plate voltage to 1200 volts. As it is, running a 75tl at 1/3 dissipation is way down in the curves. The tube will have less distortion if you can bring up its operating point and it will make more that the 6 to 8 watts this operating point will give you.

I know there is the whole "cheap 300b" operating point for the 75tl, but these tubes are getting more rare and a JJ 300b is cheaper than the Eimac now. I do understand the fun of using the Eimac tubes, having both a 304tl amp and a 35t amp in operation at the present (both in the +Kilovolt range).

 That's what the Audio Asylum Trader is for.

No selling in the forums.

 Is your 35T SE or push-pull?

Do you have a schematic of it?

The 35T is very symmetrical and should sound really good.

How to handle the high amp-factor is the question.

Thanks! -Dennis-
